Beautiful art makes a great gift for any occasion. Even for the person who has everything, a piece of artwork makes an amazing gift and can be an inspiring choice for that person.
Few gifts are more memorable than art and taking the time to choose art for someone special is an excellent way to show your connection.
Gifting artwork can be a thoughtful and unique present for your loved ones, clients, and associates. The thought of giving artwork as a gift may seem daunting so we put together a few ideas in the art of gifting you can use to determine the right gift for your nearest and dearest.
So first, consider the popular art styles that resonates with Bikers include:
- Old School or Traditional Tattoos – These tattoos feature bold lines, bright colors, and classic designs, and they are a popular choice for Harley riders.
- Biker Art – This art style features motorcycles, bikers, and other biker-related themes. It often includes skull motifs, flames, and other elements that are associated with the biker lifestyle.
- Graffiti Art – Graffiti art is known for its bold, colorful designs and lettering, and some Harley riders may appreciate this style for its rebellious and edgy vibe.
- Pop Art – Pop Art is a style that originated in the 1950s and 1960s, featuring bold colors, graphic designs, and commercial images. Some Harley riders may appreciate this style for its nostalgic and retro feel.
- Street Art – Street art is a contemporary art form that often features bold graphics, stencils, and murals. It can be a popular choice for Harley riders who appreciate urban culture and the underground art scene.
- Lowbrow Art – Also known as “pop surrealism,” is a contemporary art movement that emerged in the 1970s and is characterized by its figurative and representational style. Lowbrow artists often draw inspiration from popular culture, comic books, and street art, and their work often features dark, humorous, or subversive themes.
